I think Social Security should be bipartisan and it should transcend the next election, and you should get the best ideas of the Democrats and of the Republicans, and move forward with the best.

I welcome the Democrats' ideas on Social Security. I think it is very important to make a bipartisan reform.

Most people understand life expectancy has changed since Social Security started in 1937 when folks lived to be 59 years old. Today, they live to be 77 years old.

Ages of experience have taught humanity that the commitment of a husband and wife to love and to serve one another promotes the welfare of children and the stability of society.

But whether a couple is a man and a woman has everything to do with the meaning of marriage.

Marriage encourages the men and women who together create life to unite in a bond for the protection of children.

If we change the definition of marriage to be more inclusive, then it is logical to argue that we should broaden the definition so that won't exclude anyone.
